Would it be accurate to say that EVERY addict started out with the thought they could "take it or leave it"? I wonder how many meth, heroin or cocaine addicts NEVER smoked marijuana?
Just an opinion, but I would think taking that first drug, of any type, is more likely to lead to addiction than taking that first drink, smoking that first cigarette or playing that first slot machine.
Of all the addictions out there, which leads to the most crime, most health problems, most family relationship problems, most job problems, most loss of personal control? I don't really kinow. But what I do know is, in the families I know,...drug addiction is the worst! Suicide, homicide, property crimes and just plain family despair.
I think it is a pathetic cop-out to consider drug legalization.
